"The original plan for Edmonton had been to take Russian defenceman Mikhail Sergachev at fourth overall (or wherever they were drafting), but Chiarelli still preferred Puljujarvi to any rearguard."

Lol now Boston reporter saying he talked to Milan and reports of Edmonton are bs

don't go bursting the bubble.

Some other reports from smaller guys saying demers is signing in Edmonton too.. Just got a pot of goldddd in Edmonton lol
- MaWLz

I would suspect it's Demers OR Lucic in Edm.

If they get Lucic, then they flip an Eberle or RNH for a #1 D-man.
If it's Demers, then they just move Yak or Pouliot for a #4-#7 type depth D.

Seems odd that its reported Van didnt talk salary or term with Lucic while he was there

Not advocating signing Lucic but have you ever heard anything negative from Boston or LA? It seems to me his teammates like him and we know Lombardi did. Perhaps he is a good guy in the dressing room. I have no idea. I don't mind if somebody is a Richard on the ice.

I think the only place that doesn't want him back is the Roxy.

Only talking with the intention of driving up the price in Edm?

When your giving a player max term and max dollars is there any need to talk about it much more

Anyone else sad that Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones are both done for another year?

I heard that when Lucic met with Jim and Trevor nothing was offered. That it was just a conversation of what Lucic was looking for or wanted. It never went any further. Which tells me he is looking for a big payday. The media will give some excuse that Edmonton is farther along or some stupid $hit. I don't care either way if he is comes here or not. If it is for a stupid contract I am out. July 5th is make or break for Benning for me.

Gives me chance to see if he does something really good or he does something really stupid. He seems to be getting better at his job and he is a draft king. He has had some good trades and bad. (potentially)

On the flip side though he has done some really dumb $hit. I am on the fence about how I feel right now. As Chompsey would say I am going full Bipolar.
